Symlink Blog Post

[FrederickGeek8]

I have absolutely no idea how to do this but how can I symlink blog posts like they do in wordpress so it would look like

read.php?aid=16

to

/look-at-me/

or

/look-at-me-2/

Its .htaccess (Mod_rewrite)

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /b/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I am really confused on this. How would I link post id 16 to /hello-world/ and post id 17 to /hello-people/ and stuff.... I would really like to understand this really

Well, the /hello-world/ would be a $_GET variable, so you could just use that in your script to find it in a DB

I really don't know, I just found the .htaccess :3

EDIT: found an easier one to understand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^aid/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?aid=$1

if you had website.com/blog/?aid=43, you'd be able to navigate to website.com/blog/aid/43
Its the same concept as the ?aid= thing. You can still echo $_GET['aid'];
